the problem is the driver contains the bcmwl5.sys file, but it does =

You're looking for a .inf file *NOT* a .ini file. They're not the same
thing. The driver distribution from Linksys most definitely has both a
.sys file and .inf file for your device. Look harder. Also, check for
both upper and lower case file names.
You have me totally confused or am I missing something? How does a =
windows
driver help you with freebsd 5.2.1 ?
He's trying to use the NDISulator which lets you use Windows binary
network drivers with FreeBSD. Before you go looking, the code is in
-current, not 5.2.1, but it will work with 5.2.1 if you install it
all correctly.
